During an acute attack of Bronchitis,
a ceaseless tickling in the throat, and
an exhausting, dry, hacking cough,
afflict the sufferer. Sleep is banished,
and great prostration follows. This
disease is also attended with Hoarse-
ness, and sometimes Loss of Voice.
1t is liable to become chronic, in
volye the lungs, and terminate fatal

speedy relief and cure in cases Of
Bronchitis. 1t controls the DISPOSE

Sioux CITY, Iowa, April S--John F1tS-
simmons, who testified for the State last
week that the man he saw shoot Haddock
ran in the direction of the bridge, again APP
peared on the stand yesterday morning ana
svvore for the defense he was formerly mis-
taken concerning that point He row thinks
the man who did the shooting ran In q
northerly direction. He did not believe the
assassin was John Arensdorf.
John Arensdorf, the defendant, took the
stand in the afternoon and testified as fol-
lows: II had been engaged in the brewing
business two years, and during the month
of August, 1886, was foreman Tor franz
Brothers. August 8 came down Town De-
tween seven and eight in the evening,

there Barnes went west and l went TO
the Chicago saloon and then TO Junfzss sa-
loon Scotland and Grady were there
when l arrived / went next 10
the English kitchen and heard there
that a man was killed. / went TO the place
of murder and remained few minutes
Then l went to the brewery; returned to
Junk's, where 1 remained ten or fifteen
minutes and then went home wore my
usual clothing, blue suit and tail coat
1 did not have on a rubber coat have

at the corner OF Fourth and Water streets
when Haddock was killed l was at the
meeting on August 9, but it was not pri-
vate meeting to my knowledge Nothing
was said in my presence about doing up any
one"
The witness then made a detailed denial
of movements and language attributed to
him in the testimony OF Leavltt ana MRS.
Leavitt. He had conversed with Leavitt at
the latter's theater, but had not discussed
the killing of Haddock. Witness knew
Bismarck and wife, but denied the truth
of an important part of their testimony re-
lating to him. He knew Of no conspiracy
to injure any one, and had no idea where
Haddock was that night.
Cross-examined by the State, the wit
ness testimony was characterized by
sweeping denials of all the damaging tes-
timony relating to him given by other wit
ueSSeS.

hind them. 1 did not know what they
were going to do. 1 had never had a word
with LeavItt about what they were going
to do. We caught up with them at the
high fence eight or ten feet from the

his straw hat off my head and put his
gray one on mine. / asked him what he
meant and he said: That's all right We

another running northward. He wore long
black coat, light pants and brown low

FALL OF A TUNNEL.
A Large Number OF Workmen Buried
Thirteen Fatally Injured.

Large Number OF Workmen Buried
Thirteen Fatally Injured.
RALEIGH, n. c., April News was re-
ceived here last night of an appalling acct
dent on the Western North Carolina rail-
road, twenty miles this side of Asheville.
At that point the railway, in crossing the
Blue Ridge mountains, passes through "a
tunnel ], 800 feet long, at elevation of 0OOs
feet above the sea level. The tunnels part
~ in solid stone and partly III earth. There
has always been some trouble in regard
to it and large portion of its roof is
supported by powerful beams. The tunnef
was excavated by convicts, and these have
since done much work in keeping it fit for
traffic Last evening force OF laborer5
was at work in the tunnel putting in new
supporting timbers, to replace those de-
cayed by constantly dripping water. While
this force of over fifty men was at work
there was a thunderous crash and an inn
menSe section of the roof fell So great was
the force of the fall that there was shock
like that of an earthquake. The first cave
in was followed by others in quick success
sion. 1t happened that number of new
timbers had been put in and these broke in
some degree the force OF the shock. These
massive timbers inclined at various angles
even when crushed, and hence gave some
safety to the workmen. 1t miraculously
happened that not one was killed outright,
though only two escaped injury. All the
others were seriously hurt. Inc injuries
of thirteen are said to be perhaps fatal.
Some ara certain to die. A telegram was
sent to Ashville last night at a late hour
asking for assistance. A special train was
made up and number of physicians left at
once for the tunnel, which is well known
all over the South as the Swannona tunnel @
The physicians worked all night and again
this morning in aid of the wounded. They
amputated number of limbs The people
ha in dor hla
numbers and gave all the aid possible. The
officers of the railway are assdHous in their
attentions. The majority OF the injured
men are colored.

DISGUISED KNIGHTS.

The United Labor Party at Chicago De-
nounce the Red Flag and Anarchists.
CHICAGO, April THE election Tues
day resulted in the return of thirteen
Republicans, four Democrats and
one Labor man as aldermen. The new
council will stand with the hold-over alder
men: Republicans, 25; Democrats, 10; La
Dor, 1. In the town of Lake the Law and
Order party achieved victory, electing
their entire ticket by an average majority
of about 1,300. Other suburban towns
went largely Republican. The leaders
of the Knights of Labor in the United
Labor party were, as a rule, very much
disguised at the result. In an interview
one of them says: 81 tell you the red flag
has beat US, and we VIII never have any
success as party until we get rid of the
Socialists. The committee of twenty fve
will meet on Thursday evening ard we will
settle this question then. The Labor party
must hereafter fight on labor issues only.
We must put our feet upon the Socialists
and the whole crowd of red flag agitators
or there is no hope for ms. repeat the red
flag was the cause of our defeat. People
will not tolerate anarchy, socialism or
communism, but we will settle this question
on Thursday evening. We must and will
wash our hands of the red flag and compel
the Socialists to take back seat.''

RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
The Democrats Elect Their State Ticket
Legislature Republican.

Legislature Republican.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 7.-Seldom was
there such lively interest manifested in
an election as that shown in this city and
throughout the State. Fuller reports
from all wards of this city show that Davis,
Democrat, for Governor, has been elected
by majority of 2,106, and it is thought
from returns thus far received from the
various towns that Davis will have at least
1000 majority in the whole State. Some
towns are yet to be heard from, but the
vote is so close that it will probably not re-
duce Davis majority. At late hour last
night indications were that the entire
Democratic general ticket had been elected.
The new Legislature will be changed
considerably, although the Repub licans
will no doubt have a majority. The Demo-
Gratis are iubilant and large crowds throng
the newspaper, telegraph and other down
town Offices. For Secretary of State, Nc
Guinness, Democrat, has a plurality, but
the Republican Legislature will place the
present incumbent and nominee of the
party, Alderman, in Office. AS near as can
be ascertained the House stands 81 Repub-
hcans and 20 Democrats, and the Senate Is
Republicans and 10 Democrats, with four
cities or towns to be heard from.
